Summary
A study led by Sir Anthony Seldon analyzing the Conservative government from 2010 to 2024 concludes it is the worst in postwar British history, with declines in equality, economic growth, and the UK's international standing. The article contrasts this with Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's claim that the electorate failed to appreciate the government's record.
